Windows 10: Windows 10.... why oh why

A 1.6Ghz is a lower end processor and that would account for the slower performance of the PC/Laptop.

 

Oh, I see. Well, my system seems to be running fine now. So, I don't know. At least it doesn't have any viruses. I keep it updated religiously, optimized, fully scanned, etc. It's a good computer. I haven't had much problems out of it.

 

All in all, I enjoy Windows 10.

 

As long as it's running fine and you're happy with 10 that's all that matters at the end of the day.

However, I have been having a problem with my Acer desktop and my sister's Acer laptop. The desktop is on Acer's list of compatible computers for Windows 10. My sister's however isn't though, but its a better computer than mine. The problem is that each time I boot those 2 computers up, the desktop icon font is black. I have to manually change them to white. I have made a thread about it, but so far no one has responded.

Desktop: Acer Aspire XC603G & Sister's Laptop: Acer Aspire 5749

 

don't think they meant YOU, like the I you . , just that you have quite a ways back to find cpu that wont run win10 , I have two old towers that wont run win10,one will run win7 and one will run win8 ,but not win8.1,,,,
the one that runs win8, did run the early win10 prieview

 

Okay. Thanks for the clarification.

 

with out getting into specifics ,desktop and laptops have some big difference ,and one of the main ones is the Processor's ,and then I would say the Video Device they use ,,,,,and that could be what you are experiences

 

Actually, I think its a setting that has got messed with that needs to be looked at. But, I don't know what setting that is.

 

I have come across people claiming to be running Windows 10 on a Pentium 4. So, if true, that means you would have to go back a long way t find a processor that is truly incompatible, meaning Windows 10 would refuse to install.

 

My sister's computer runs on a Pentium processor. Not sure if it's the 4 or what, but it is older as it came with Windows 7 64-bit and a Legacy BIOS. My system has the AMD E2 VISION processor that came with Windows 7 64-bit with a Legacy BIOS.

 

I have a Dell Laptop running Windows 10 with a T2390 CPU. I think it was released in 2006-2009.

 

Mine was released in 2011 - 2012.

 

OK.... so backed up all files to external HDD and have done a 'clean' install of win10... hoping this will solve some issues... and display driver is now not reporting errors... should have done that from the outset... but see how we go

 

good luck ,it should work better
